Vintage Geometric Cream Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Etno Labijar Afghan BB6519 5'1" × 8'9" $4,000

This vintage Palestinian kilim rug is a handwoven flatweave from the tribal weaving tradition, admired for its bold geometry and relaxed, collectible character. Rather than relying on a central medallion, it uses repeated bands and side motifs to build movement across the field, giving the piece a graphic, easygoing presence suited to layered interiors.

The composition centers on broad horizontal panels in brick red, dark teal, black, cream, and warm tan, with the lighter bands acting almost like beams between deeper color fields. Along the sides, diamond-shaped modules create a subtle frame, while small cross motifs punctuate the composition and lend it a hand-crafted, almost embroidered quality.

Earthy browns and rust tones soften the stronger teal and black notes, resulting in a palette that feels grounded rather than severe. Short fringed ends complete the look. It is a versatile vintage kilim for contemporary, rustic, or eclectic rooms, where pattern and texture matter as much as color.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
